I didn't read the older thread, but AFAIK under windows, you can use DBD::ODBC as a workaround by creating an ODBC datasource with odbcad32.exe, and then use that in your perl/DBI code.

You can keep the both the 12.5 and 15.0 client libraries on your machine and install the DBD::Sybase ppm with SYBASE and SYBASE_OCS env vars pointed to the 12.5 libraries. Maybe you have to edit the PPD file. Then you also need to set $ENV{SYBASE} and $ENV{SYBASE_OCS} to the 12.5 directories in each perlscript in a BEGIN block. This is explained in the DBD::Sybase documentation.

Don't remember, but I have both on my machine, and DBD::Sybase 1.07_1 installed.

didn't try this: using the old dll name, you can create symbolic links to the new dll files. works also on NTFS)
